Description

The house on the property is a 2-story vernacular building facing east onto John Street, with a 2-story rear addition. The building consists of an end-gabled core facing onto John Street and a 2-story shed-roofed rear addition. Both sections have asphalt shingles on the roof and stuccoed walls. A small stuccoed chimney on the south end is located on the ridge. All windows are replacement 1x1 double hung sash units with wide surrounds. On the main (east) elevation, windows are not symmetrically spaced, although they are aligned vertically and horizontally. A replacement door in the north bay (likely dating to the 1990s) is a opens below a single light transom. The front porch is a hipped roof element with four thin columns attached by a light railing. The end wall of the core has a single rank of windows on each end. The foundation of the core is stone. The rear addition has 1x1 double hung sash windows, arranged asymmetrically. Some windows on the rear addition are paired. The rear section has a concrete foundation.

The house was constructed c. 1920. Historic maps as late as the Sanborn atlas of 1918 show a vacant lot in this location. The house first appears on the Franklin Survey Atlas of 1930 and appears on all subsequent historic aerials.
